Ok, a have created a ship that I got working in Freelancer. Everything seems to be working from the weapons to the engines, except one problem is driving me nuts...

When my ships shields go down and I have enemies firing at it, their shots seem to go through my ship. They hit the shield just fine, but they are literally going through my ships hull without damaging it!

I tried toning down the ship's hull and that didn't seem to work. I also tried moving it down in MS but that just made the problem more obevious. They do hit once in a while, but not that well, missiles seem to impact just fine. Am I missing something here?
